Objective To investigate the effect of pioglitazone on oxazolone-induced colitis and to clarify the mechanism of apoptosis by Fas/Fas ligand(FasL). Methods Eighteen BALb/c mice of ulcerative colitis induced by oxazolone enema were equally allocated into 3 groups. The mice in group 1 were sacrificed 3 days after enema,lamina propria mononuclear cells(LPMC) were isolated from freshly obtained colonic specimens and treated in vitro with pioglitazone (40 ?mol/L),the annexin-V-FITC was used for detection of apoptosis,and Fas/FasL expression was assayed by flow cytometry. Meanwhile,untreated mice were served as normal controls. Mice in group 2 (control group) and 3 (experiment group) were treated with methylcellulose or pioglitazone(20 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) 3 days after enema and were administrated for consecutive 7 days. The colonic inflammation including disease activity index (DAI),macroscopic and histological changes,myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity and levels of interleukin (IL)-4,IL-5 were evaluated. Results Apoptosis of LPMC,expression of Fas and FasL in normal and colitis mucosa were 12.89?1.23,70.63?6.24,8.59?5.47 and 4.25?0.84,62.60?5.85,23.75?10.23,respectively. After treated with pioglitazone,both apoptosis of LPMC and expression of Fas increased,while FasL expression decreased (40.58?10.32,83.98?11.38 and 10.04?5.21 respectively). In group 2 and group 3,the macroscopic and microscopic score,MPO activity,IL-4 and IL-5 level were 2.50?0.55,8.83?0.75, 3.81?0.17,216.46?34.32,102.28?25.74 and 0.33 ?0.52,4.00?0.63,1.25?0.16,179.36?18.15,61.65?17.45,respectively. Conclusion The results indicate that pioglitazone treatment can significantly attenuate colonic inflammation,and it might be related to the apoptosis of LPMC through Fas and FasL.

The Six Meridians inTreatise on Exogenous Febrile Diseases were once thought the same with the six meridians ofThe Inner Canon of Huangdi. With this theory was overthrown, similarities and differences and the correlation between them have gradually been studied. In this paper, we take the Taiyang Median as an example to explain the similarities and differences from two aspects, including clinical symptoms and the understanding of the same disease with different treatment.

Background and purpose:The antitumor drugs produce a marked effect through the induction of apoptosis. The resistance to chemotherapy has been found to be associated with abnormal expression of genes related to apoptosis. We designed this experiment to investigate the role of survivin gene in the resistance to chemotherapy. Methods:After being treated with Hydroxycamptothecine (OPT,21.96mmol/L), the apoptosis in gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 cells were evaluated by either flow cytometry(FCM) or the terminal deoxynucleotidy transfer mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL). The expression of Survivin was detected by reverse transcription-Polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry.Results:Compared to control group, the OPT can induced apoptosis in BGC-823[(12.68?0.17)% vs (3.35?0.13)% by FCM,(16.00?1.23)% vs (2.78? 0.84)% by TUNEL[, OPT could upregulate survivin expression in BGC-823 cells (1.489?0.041)% vs (0.756?0.037)% in terms of level of mRNA,(0.928?0.046) vs (0.303?0.032) in terms of protein expression).Conclusions:The survivin gene may be associated to the resistance to chemotherapy through the induction of gene expression.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Jiaji point needling for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GRD) with liver-stomach stagnated heat type. Methods Sixty GRD patients were randomly divided into Jiaji point group and conventional point group, 30 cases in each group. Jiaji point group was given needling on bilateral T5 to T10 Jiaji points, and conventional point group was given acupuncture mainly on Zusanli, Zhongwan and Neiguan points, once a day for 10 continuous days. Before and after treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms and gastroscopy results were observed, and then the therapeutic effect and recurrence rate of GRD were evaluated. Results (1) The total effective rate of Jiaji point group was 86.7％, and that of the conventional point group was 83.3％, the difference being insignificant (P > 0.05). (2) After treatment, the scores of clinical symptoms of the two groups were decreased (P < 0.01 compared with those before treatment), and the decrease in Jiaji point group was superior to that in the conventional point group (P < 0.05). (3) After treatment, the mean R value of gastroscopy results in the two groups was lower than that before treatment (P <0.01) , but the difference of the mean R value of gastroscopy results in the two groups was insignificant (P >0.05). (4) After treatment for 2 months, the recurrence rate of Jiaji point group was 23.5％ and that of the conventional point group was 42.9％, the difference being insignificant between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion The short-term effect of Jiaji point needling for the treatment of GRD with liver-stomach stagnated heat type is superior to that of conventional point needling.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transcatheter hepatic arterial thermo-chemotherapy and thermo-lipiodol embolization in the treatment of hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma.Methods Sixty-eight cases with hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma were equally and randomly divided into two groups.The patients in study group were treated with transcatheter hepatic arterial thermo-chemotherapy and thermo-lipiodol embolization,while the patients in control group were treated with conventional(normal temperature) transcatheter hepatic arterial chemotherapy lipiodol embolization.Results The effective rate of study group and control group was 65%(22 / 34) and 32%(11 / 34) respectively,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P

Objective To evaluate the value of narrow band imaging(NBI) in the diagnosis of early squamous esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods Four thousand and fifty-six patients were examined by routine endoscopy,NBI and iodine chromoscopy,one hundred and fourteen lesions in 82 patients were screened.Of all lesions were detected by NBI with magnification and targeted biopsy.The differences among routine endoscopy,NBI and iodine chromoscopy,and the consistency between IPCL and histological findings were assessed.Results Compared to NBI and iodine chromoscopy,especially flat lesions,there was a high missed diagnosis rate in diagnosis of early squamous esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions by routine endoscopy.With NBI and iodine chromoscopy,the incidence rate of lesions was 78.0% and 79.8%,respectively.For iodine staining,85.7% Grade Ⅰ was high grade intraepithelial neoplasia(HGIN),and 66.0% Grade Ⅱ/Ⅲ was low grade intraepithelial neoplasia(LGIN).For NBI,80.4% Grade Ⅰ was HGIN,but there was no specificity in diagnosis LGIN.In appearance of IPCL,92.9% Type Ⅳ/Ⅴ was HGIN,89.4% Type Ⅱ/Ⅲ was LGIN,and it has a relatively better consistency in IPCL with histological findings.Conclusion There is a high detection rate in diagnosis of early squamous esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions by Lugoul's iodine staining and NBI endoscopy.It's probably that IPCL patterns by NBI with magnification can provide scientific basis for both the endoscopic theraphy of early esophageal cancer and the omen of postoperative recurrence.
